uh-huh. first you propose a wrong-headed syntactic extension, and
then when people explain why it's wrong you say that Guile lacks
direction.
but never you mind.
here's my take on what Guile is: Guile is (not entirely consiously) a
worse-is-better project. Guile tries to popularize a good language
(Lisp in the guise of Scheme) by making it be as friendly to C as
possible.
so while this approach makes _implementational_ crocks acceptable,
_idealogical_ crocks (like fscking up a perfectly good and clean syntax
and introducing unnesessary concepts) are not really helpful.
nobody's forcing you to give up Perl, you know.
